Going home on my street up hill I look towards streetlight see it ...I saw something in the sky.. .. was oval had a solid definate shape to it although it was lit up with no light glare to it and a darker area almost like a thin line threw the middle of it.. soft bluish white color. It blinked once slow then twice fast and gone .. dissappeared.. no sound. i went up the street again to see if maybe it was a reflection or something explainable.. couldn't find anything.

Homer Glen, IL
Tuesday morning 7/14/20. Was on deck reading. Husband was reclining in chair watching dragonflies darting back and forth above him. Called me over to look at something he spotted in the sky. Looked up and way above the clouds spotted an odd oval grayish something in the sky. Way too high for any type of bird, or drone. No movement, just sat there. Off to the east was a jet heading west (with a jet stream behind it). Object was higher than jet. As jet came closer to being below object, it shot off extremely fast to the west. Still in our view, it stopped, sat a moment then shot off again to the south. We always look for a logical explanation, but couldn't explain this.

Phoenix, AZ
About 10 seconds later a helicopter came from the east flying west as if in pursuit but was way to slow. My friend pulled up as i was standing outside and the saw the exact same thing . Then 5 minutes later another friend showed up saying they were about 2 miles away saying the same thing. I briefly caught a glimpse of it on my security cameras digital video recorder.

Riverview, FL
On 7/7/2020 at 5am I took my dog out side once out side I have a habit of leaning against my car parked in the driveway and look at the stars. So I did just such the first thing I noticed is how bright the moon was. Then to the left I noticed a bright orangish looking star so I opened a starwalker app on my phone to see what star it was, which came to Mars. While holding my phone to the sky matching the position of Mars on my phone to the orange star I notice a even brighter object just peaking about my neighbors tree so I pan left to see which star it was. The only on that was close to the position I was pointing is a star named Menkar but this object was way to bright and slowly rising about the tree. Within a few seconds it was a few inches about the tree yet the other stars around it didn't move. Once it got to a certain height it stopped and look to pulsate then stopped. After about 5-10 mins I went back in the house.

East Northport, NY
I witnessed 3 reflective oval shapes that were flying in a triangle formation moving from north to south while slowly drifting in an easterly direction. The ships while keeping in formation zig zagged in all directions for about 20 seconds and then broke formation. 1 object travled west, one south and the third just disappeared. The speed they were traveling was much faster then any airplane I have seen in the sky so I would imagine they were flying at least 800 - 1000 MPH. There was no plane/vehicle/aircraft noise during the entire time other then the birds in the trees.

San Antonio, TX
10:00 pm July 5th 2020 watched approx. 20 orange lights move at speed of a an airplane at a low altitude move across sky from east to west and disappear before reaching horizon. They move in a steady stream pausing every 30 seconds for another to appear or so, until 20 passed over. At first thought they were luminaries (bags with candles) they were completely uniform as if they were being launched. About 4 minutes to pass over. My wife and I observed this.

Maumee, OH
At 7:00 pm EST on 7/5/20 my wife and I and our 2 kids (2 and 10 years old) were outside in the backyard playing. My 2-year-old who has never done this before laid down flat on her back the deck. She looked at me and said lay down Daddy. So strange but I did and as soon as I did I noticed a white circular or oblong object in the Southern sky. This object did not move, it seemed to be hovering about 15-20,000 feet. There were planes in the sky at the time and they were much higher. This craft was viewed through binoculars and it was more round and translucent. While we were looking at this the 10-year-old said look there is another one. This object was much closer and in the northern sky. This is the craft that we were able to photograph. It did not move much at all. There was no visible wind and it did not appear to be a balloon. As soon as the new object appeared the southern object seemed to move more south or increase elevations and leave the view. I ran next door and got my neighbor to see it as well thought the binoculars and he was awe struck. The object moved from the north sky to the south and then disappeared. I checked my app sky view and the objects were not planets or stars. I also took a screen shot of all flights that were overhead and non-matched.

Obetz, OH
I also contacted you on a previous occasion on August 11th of 2018. At around 9:30pm my wife was watching our dogs out back in the yard when she observed a strange metallic half sphere shaped object approaching from the west. She quickly asked me what the **** is that. I looked and said I did not know. I then picked up my phone and took pictures of the craft. I tried to take a video, but as soon as I tried to change the settings it let off a spectacular flash of red light and sped off back to the west at what was an impossible speed. It was out of sight within a manner of at least a second. Thirdly, my first sighting in Obetz occurred around 3:00am in 2016. My son 18 at the time and I were setting out back with my telescope trying waiting for Saturn to come into view. While we were setting in the lawn chairs a large boomerang shaped object came slowly crossing in front of us. It was silent with a mother of pearl glowing color. It had a sphere rotating in and out of the structure at the rear of the object in the middle of the v portion of the boomerang. It had no windows and was upright each point of the tips one pointing toward the sky the other toward the ground. We both were dumbfounded and could not believe what we saw as it passed before our eyes. I estimated it about 400 yards away at about a 45-degree angle from where we sat and from top to bottom around 75ft front to back about 20ft. He asked me what it was I said I had no clue and I hoped it was one of ours. Immediately we both ran back in the house into the kitchen. I told him to draw what he saw and ! I would go into the living room and draw what I saw with no collaboration to our story. When he was done we both compared what we saw and it was exactly the same drawing.

Roche Harbor, WA
During the Roche Harbor 4th of July celebration (live streamed) there was a large white/bright craft above/beyond the fireworks display. It very clearly hovered beyond the display over the water and dramatically moved up/down/left/right in a way very similar to how a drone would move, however the light on it was constant and drones are NOT this large. I wasn't sure where to report this and only just thought about actually reporting it so I'm sorry it's so late. I'm guessing you can find a recording of the event and it was very clear there was something there. The UFO floated most of the time, moving left/right and based on the size within the stream/image I would estimate it was at least 20ft across. The light was continuously on and there was a slight blur when it moved, it also seemed to move in a way I've not experienced drones being capable of. I fly drones and that area is a 'no drone' area and I'm convinced it was not just a drone, it was far too large. Unfortunately the only recording I can find is an angle from the airport, the Roche Harbor resort live streamed it from the resort/dock perspective. Whatever it is, it was behind the fireworks by a large distance so you won't see it in the airport video. I should have filmed it but hopefully you can find something. Before the end of the fireworks display (grande finale), it suddenly just vanished. No lights, no blur, no altitude change...just gone.

Gretna, NE
It was off in the distance, West of Gretna, NE, by at least 20 miles, but it was still huge in the sky . It was oval as an outline but the center seemed to be open. It was not smoke or clouds because it remained stationary for at least 10-15 minutes. I tried taking a picture of it, but the pictures didn't turn out very clear because it was so far away.

Burkesville, KY
While sitting outside Friday night I looked to the south and noticed an object moving in the sky from East to West. The number and color of the lights on the object is what grabbed my immediate attention. There was a row of 3 to 5 orangish lights on top, the middle had 5 to 7 reddish lights and the bottom row was 3 to 5 orangish lights. The top and bottom rows seemed to flash in synchronicity, while they were off the middle row was on. It was flying low, there are numerous hills in my area. It was between 800 to 1200 yards away, maybe 400 feet off the ground, it made no sound. There are no airports near me and no flight paths of any kind. The weather was clear at the time, I was on my phone with a friend and described it to him and he suggested fireworks. I've seen fireworks my whole life and aircraft of all kinds and descriptions. I am a retired Navy veteran and have watched airplanes my whole life. I have never seen anything like this, especially the light! array on this thing. It was kind of eerie and awesome at the same time. I truly believe that this was not any sort of craft of this world. If I had to guess at dimensions I'd say it was appropriately 50 feet long and 50 feet tall. The patt err rn of lights suggested the middle portion of the craft was longer than the top and bottom, hence the "oval" selection. The way the lights were flashing suggests to me they were following the circumference of the craft because there was brief intervals where the side I was had lights out, that's why I can't give an exact count of the lights. Thsnks.

We were all sitting on the beach at night, barely any waves, very quiet. We are looking out into the ocean and out of no where this thing appears and we’re watching it as it gets closer and closer. There is NO sound and it got so close we thought it was going to land in front of us on the beach but ended up disappearing behind a mountain . The light patterns were going around in circles and it also projected lights onto the ocean and sand. It was definitely not a plane, helicopter or drone. It was SILENT and it was pretty big. I have a video of the whole thing

Suffolk, VA
We thought they were drones as they approached but it became clear, even for my newly 5 year old daughter that they won't. The light inside of one of them quickly dimmed out and it shot up in the air while still keeping pace with the other two. I'd estimate they were 300 ft. and closing at that time. The sheer odd movement and the fact that they were coming right for us triggered my daughter to become hysterical. I picked her up and we both looked up just as one of the two stopped directly above us. I never lost track of the one that dimmed out and went up. We live in downtown Suffolk, VA and everything was well lit by the street lights and it didn't travel so far up to not be seen. Id say, that as my daughter started crying, it was as if they noticed us all of a sudden. I was like they immediately reacted to us reacting to them. The one that went high came back down a lot faster then it went up, which was crazy fast to begin with. And as it made it to the one that stopped ! above us it never did. only slowing a bit then they both flew and caught up with the third one that only slowed down during the whole encounter. The wind was fairly strong that day and constant for the most part. these things were moving at 90 degrees or more to the wind. My daughter was restless from being inside all day and due to the lock down we didn't go out all that much. I figured we could take a walk to go to our mail box on the other side of the building to burn some energy. It fits my luck in life that I'd end up leaving my cell phone in the apartment. I'm fairly sure we didn't lose time or anything like that. It just seemed like they were curious. And IDK? Maybe there's a alien photograph on another planet of me and my daughter looking up that night. Always makes me think. Also. I think someone else saw it. after they flew off I continued walking around the corner of our building and saw a lady that was stopped in the intersection returning to her car from the direction they went, looking at her phone like she took a picture as she got in. I remember her passing us as it was stopped overhead and we were right close to the street. They too were probably 70 to 100 feet up, so I figure that whoever that was also had to see everything.

Oval object in and out of clouds moving up, down, and backwards. Too high to be a bird and did not move like a plane. I took a video of it. Here is a link to the video. https://photos.app.goo.gl/9bZg1XNh53ZP26Gg7

I enjoy taking pictures of cloud formations that I think would make good matted and framed pictures. I always take multiple pics one after another to catch changing cloud shapes. Took 3 pics and noticed one had a dark object that wasn't visible anywhere in pic directly before or after (all pictures taken within seconds.) When zoomed can clearly see oval object that looks metallic and is reflecting sun light.

Pearl Lake State Park (25 miles north of Steamboat Springs), CO
Date: June 19, 2020 (a Friday) Time: 0403 to 0413 hrs Location: Pearl Lake State Park (campsite 10), north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado While camping, I stepped out of my tent about 0401 hrs and viewed the sky to the east; my tent flap was facing directly east towards the lake. I observed constellations and stars; it was about 38 degrees Fahrenheit that night with the sky being very clear. At about 0403 hrs, I turned to the west and observed 2 lines of oval lights moving in a northwesterly direction; the shape of the lights were very similar to the shape we see on our voting ballots. Although there were 2 lines in unison, each oval shape was either a little lower or higher than the next but did form 2 distinct lines. Color of the lights was soft white and there was absolutely no noise. Rough estimate of the number of lights is 150 to 200. From the time I observed the lights, they continued for about 10 minutes (0413 hrs). At this time, there was one light that appeared to be the last one. This last one was behind the 2 lines and rather centered but not entirely. The lights were very orderly, spaced equally apart with no blinking or pulsing. I got the definite feeling that there was a mission to be accomplished by the lights (UFO’s). When I initially viewed the lights, they had been on-going so I do not know how long they were in the sky.

I witnessed an oval shaped craft, with no sound, emitting a red orange trail from one end. While I was keeping my eyes on it, I watched it completely vanish.

Mt. Jackson, VA
I photographed an object outside my home on June 11th 2020, at 8:55pm just after sunset (sunset was 20:39:44). It was moving faster than a plane, similar in speed to how the ISS moves across the sky, heading due North and it was illuminated and incredibly bright, like it was on fire. It never lost its intensity. I saw no tail but assumed it was my vantage point as it was approaching head-on. I was positive I was witnessing a fireball until it suddenly took a 90 degree turn eastward, and like a cannon, shot away. I could track it past the clouds visible in the picture to the left until it absolutely vanished from sight. I am an amateur ISS/satellite watcher so I immediately checked to see what objects were scheduled to make an appearance in my area, and there were none at that time. I also reported it to the American Meteor Society and have checked there periodically and see no other reports anywhere in my area of similar sightings. It’s marked as an invali! d sighting. I’m still amazed and baffled by the immediate turn this object made and the speed at which it flew away.

West Liberty, OH
I heard what I thought was a normal aircraft, but very loud. I searched the sky and saw nothing, then suddenly saw an object moving amazingly fast. I could not easily track it with my eyes, then it turned at an at least 45 degree angle with no slow down, then disappeared. It moved too quickly to get video on my phone (I was reaching for it while trying to not lose the visual).

This is a repeat listing of MUFON case number 109367 filed same day as sighting. I was able to make estimates of altitude and speed shortly after I filed the MUFON report but am unable to update that report, so I will include those estimations here. Observer is a retired aerospace engineer with a structural test, design and analysis background. Wife and I sitting on outside patio 6:05 pm on cloudless warm summer evening. Heard popping sounds we never heard before coming from trees. I got up to look at the pine tree in our back yard because the patio umbrella obscured my view. I also looked directly overhead at palm tree canopy. My wife heard the popping but remained seated under the umbrella. Later found out noise was the sound of the pine cones opening. One UFO emerged from behind palm tree canopy straight overhead going fast and about the size of ½ a pencil eraser held at arms length. Within .5 to 1.0 second I ruled out it being a bird or a plane due to straight flight path, speed, no sound, it’s oval shape and fuzzy (no hard edge) appearance. I was able to see it for a total of about 3.5 seconds when I lost track of it in the whiteness of the horizon. It was also white with luminosity similar to that of a white fluffy cloud. SPEED / ALTITUDE / SIZE ESTIMATES: We live under Lindbergh field approach path and aircraft are approximately at 1000 ft. elevation near this sighting. The UFO was headed into the approach path of the aircraft. It was 2 to 4 times the height of typical approaching aircraft. Observed at 90 degree elevation and lost sight at 15 degree elevation (measured) making for a 75 degree angle of observation. Using this geometry the speed calculation comes out to be 2,898 m/h if at 4000 foot elevation or 1,447 m/h if at 2000 ft. elevation, again, no sonic boom or sound was heard. Diameter estimates range from 15 to 30 foot in diameter depending on actual altitude.

Oval shaped white orb seen flying over downtown Chandler at about 3am. Approximated to be size of jumbo airplane flying at about 500-800 feet high. Unable to gu ess speed. 80-100mph maybe? Object was not solid. Very blurry and not one solid white light but rather multiple shades of "white light". Blurriness is not due to poor eyesight. It more so appeared to be phasing in or out of this plane/dimension. This would be my first up-close encounter of high strangeness.
